PH 103: Introduction to Physics

``This course introduces students to the methods and techniques used to scientifically describe the world around us. Special emphasis is placed on the field of mechanics - the study of motion. One goal of the course is for students to become comfortable solving general problems such as projectile motion, energy and momentum. These problems will be solved using only algebra - neither trigonometry nor calculus is a prerequisite. Other topics may include modern physics, optics, electricity and magnetism and fluid motion. This course also gives an overview of the scientific process and, when taken along with PH 104 Introductory Physics Laboratory, is targeted to fulfill the objectives of a Tier 2 natural science course for non-science majors. Offered Spring semester.''
